How Do I Know What I Want To Be

Hey there, let's grab a coffee and chat about this whole "figuring out what you want to be" thing, yeah? I mean, who hasn't been there, staring at the ceiling at 3 AM, wondering if they should be a astronaut, a baker, or maybe just give up and become a professional cat cuddler?

First things first, chillax!

Seriously, take a breath. It's okay if you don't have it all figured out right this second. Life's not a race, it's more like a really long, winding road trip with way too many rest stops. And you know what? That's totally fine.

So, where do you start?

Well, let's start with the basics. What are you into? Like, really into? Not just "Oh, I like pizza" into, but "I could talk about pizza for hours, I've tried making my own dough, I've visited pizza museums, and I'm pretty sure I could survive on pizza alone" into. You get the idea.

Now, think about what you're good at. Not just "I can tie my shoes" good, but "I can teach a class on how to tie shoes in five different languages" good. See where I'm going with this?

But what if I don't know?

Hey, it's cool. Not everyone's a natural-born pizza connoisseur or shoe-tying guru. If you're feeling lost, that's okay. It's like being in a huge library and not knowing where to start. You just gotta pick a section and start browsing.

Try new things! Take a class, volunteer, intern, whatever. It's all about exploring. And who knows? You might just stumble upon your passion. Or you might find out you hate it. Both are valuable, trust me. It's like trying a new food - even if you hate it, at least you know not to order it again, right?

All You Want

What about the future?

Oh, the future. Scary word, isn't it? But here's the thing: the future's not set in stone. It's more like a big, blank canvas. And you, my friend, are the artist. You get to decide what goes on that canvas. So, don't stress too much about what you should be. Focus on what you want to be.

And hey, even if you do figure it out, remember, it's okay to change your mind. Life's a journey, not a destination. You're allowed to take detours, make U-turns, even stop for ice cream (always stop for ice cream).

So, what now?

Now, you take a deep breath. You grab a pen and paper (or your phone, I won't judge). You write down all the things you love, all the things you're good at, all the things you want to try. You look at that list, and you smile. Because you're one step closer to figuring out what you want to be.

And hey, if you're still feeling lost after all that, just remember: at the end of the day, it's okay to just be you. Because you, my friend, are pretty awesome just the way you are.
